The role of ethnomathematics in mathematics education

Jorge Urencio Auditorium - FIME

What is the relationship between ethnomathematics, mathematics and anthropology and the politics of mathematics education? What evidence is there, and how do we get more, that school programmes incorporating ethnomathematical ideas succeed in achieving their (ethnomathematical?) aims? What are the implications of existing ethnomathematical studies for mathematics and mathematics education? What is the relationship of different languages (or other cultural features) to the production of different mathematics?

Call for Papers

The organizing team invites submissions of papers for Discussion Group 18: The Role of Ethnomathematics in Mathematics Education.

Please, write your paper with attention to one or more of the following questions:

What is ethnomathematics?

How is ethnomathematics related to mathematics, anthropology, or the politics of mathematics education?

What evidence is there, and how do we get more, that school programms incorporating ethnomathematical ideas succeed in achieving their aims for the mathematical education of learners and of their ethnomathematical aims?

What are the implications of existing ethnomathematical studies for mathematics and mathematics education?

What is the relationship between Ethnomathematics and Multicultural Mathematics and between Ethnomathematics and Social Aspects of Mathematics Education.

How have the developments in Indigenous knowledge throughout the world affected or influenced ethnomathematical research.

Ubi D’Ambrosio and his disciples advocate that Ethnomathematics offers opportunities for teaching and learning mathematics that promote a world agenda for increasing the prospects of peace and diminishing the prospects of war and conflict? To what extent does consensus exist for this perspective? Why?

Please send by email proposals to all members of the Organizing Team:
